'Priest' VFX breakdown and shout-out
Priest: not your average vampire movie
Good article about the making of the creatures. Gotta thank Blair, Scott and the production for giving me a mention for the Hive Guardian designs. Have a read.

Priest Wrapped, Smurfs and Season of the Witch in Progress
Finally wrapped on Priest, a film by the fine folks who brought you 'Legion'. i texture painted, art directed the creature build and designed the big baddie at the end.
Currently at Tippett I am heading up the Smurfs' Azrael build (as art director) with an awesome crew and moonlighting on the side helping to design the baddie that Nic Cage tangles with in the upcoming flick "Season of the Witch".
Busy!

Cats and Dogs 2
Hi all,
Recently, (Oct 13) I packed up and moved to the Bay Area (near San Fran) to begin work at Tippett Studios on 'Cats and Dogs 2'. I'm looking forward to working with some serious professionals, and getting better acquainted with fur tools.

Librarian 3
Currently, I am working on a few projects, the highlight of which is Dean Devlin's (Godzilla, The Patriot) Librarian 3, the latest installment in the popular Librarian' series starring Noah Wylie.
I should wrap up in July. I've been designing some interesting artifacts and locations. It's been great, and they are really happy with the work.

Sea Monsters Wins VES award!
I just got back from the sunny climes of Los Angeles after attending the Visual Effects Society's 6th annual awards ceremony.
Sean Phillips (director), Jack Geist (producer) and myself were on hand to accept the award for Best VFX in a Special Venue Project for Sea Monsters.
It's quite heavy, but I'm really honored and humbled. Hats off to the crew, who did a stunning job. It was a hard slog, 4k stereo EVERYTHING is no mean feat, and everyone should be doubly proud of their achievements.
